试题分析:这篇短文讲述的是Jenny的学校里养了三只鲍鱼,学生们被分成8组,轮流来照顾他们,他们都非常兴奋照顾这些鲍鱼。现在由于人们的捕杀,鲍鱼的数量逐渐下降。通过这样一个活动,专家们希望能让年轻人们意识到保护环境的重要。

1.全班分成8个组,每一组轮流照看这些鲍鱼。根据下句话中Each team takes turns to care for…可知,全班是分成8个小组。team 队,组,因为空前有eight,故填复数形式。

2.现在轮到第五组了,包括Jenny, Alexis Diaz, Jennifer Gonzalez and Ricardo Beltran。turn在这里是一个名词,跟上句话中的takes turns中的意思一样,意思是轮流,依次。

3.这些鲍鱼被保存在一盒子海水中。keep 是一个动词,意思是保存。根据句意可知,这些鲍鱼是被保存在一盒海水中,故应该用被动语态,填它的过去分词kept。

4.盐太多对鲍鱼的健康有害。bad 是一个形容词,坏的,糟糕的。这里是一个固定的短语,be bad for对……有害。根据上下文的意思可知,每天Alexis都会检查看海水里是否有太多的盐,而Jenny用新鲜的盐水。由此可知,海水里盐太多对鲍鱼不好。

5.然后四个学生一起清理盒子里的废物,给鲍鱼喂食。clean up是一个固定的短语,意思是打扫干净,清理干净。根据空后面的waste废物可知,这里应该是清理干净废物。

6.海洋生命就像是一个婴儿,你必须清理干净他们,照顾他们。like在这里是一个介词,意思是像。这里Jenny把鲍鱼比喻成是一个婴儿,需要人们来照顾他们。

7.因为人们对鲍鱼的捕杀,沿海岸鲍鱼的数量正在逐渐下降。caught的原形是catch,意思是抓住。这里是说因为人们抓鲍鱼,所以导致了鲍鱼的数量下降了。这句话用的是现在完成时,所以这里填过去分词的形式。

8.保护好海洋是下一代年轻学生们的责任。protect是一个动词,意思是保护。这里是用它的动名词形式在said后的这个宾语从句中做主语。

9.这可以为那些想成为海洋生命科学家或环境保护者的人们打开门。or或者,这里表示并列的关系,连接a sea life scientist和an environment protector,即想成为海洋生命科学家或环境保护者的人们。

10.这些学生们和鲍鱼在一起的时间在这个学年就要结束了。根据句意可知,这里表达的是学生们的时间,根据上文的意思可知,这里学生应该用复数形式,并且应该用名词所有格的形式,表示学生们的,故填students’。

Eighth-grader Victoria Bills is talking about money with her classmates. She is worried that a company’s stock (股票) price could fall. It may be an unusual topic of conversation for a 13-year-old. But at Bills’ school in Chicago, US, you hear it all the time.

The Chicago school’s 420 students learn about economic(经济学). They also get a chance to make money. Each 1st grade and 5th grade, students learn the basics of economics and investing(投资).

If they eat up their food, students can collect coupons (优惠券) and exchange them for small gifts, such as books, magazines, mobile phone covers and hand warmers.

“It’s been such a surprise,” said Liang Zhaoyun, a student at a university in Shanghai, “It has given us one more motivation to finish our food.”

The action is part of a national “eat-up” campaign (行动) which is organized by students to deal with food waste on campuses (校园).

Why only on campuses? You might ask. Because according to a report by Xinhua News Agency, students waste twice as much food as the national average (平均).

The campaign on campus food waste is receiving attention across the country.

“The aim of the campaign is not only to encourage students to finish their food. We hope it can also encourage students to choose a more environment —friendly and healthy lifestyle,” said Tao Siliang, Secretary of the Youth League Committee at Shanghai University.

Some school food doesn’t taste delicious, so students do not like to finish it all. Some schools have taken notice of this and they are taking actions to improve it.

“I’m glad that we’ve reduced food waste since the “eat-up” campaign began. But if we call on students to waste less food, we should also improve the service and food quality on campuses.” said Tao.

C. if they finish all their food

D. if they collect the waste
